Senator Bernie Sanders acknowledged in a recent podcast interview that President Donald Trump performed better than former President Joe Biden in securing the U.S.-Mexico border.
"If you dont have any borders, you dont have a nation," Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, said on The Tim Dillon Show on Wednesday. "Trump did a better job. I dont like Trump, but we should have a secure border. It aint that hard to do. Biden didn't do it."
Man this whole Platner being a weird piece of shit thing got Sanders twisted six different ways
Bernie has always been a pretty strict immigration guy tbh
Okay, but why is he praising the man who sabotaged his own party's border security bill?Once in a while its important to remind everyone that Bernie is technically an independent
Theres a few things of Trump's policies that are not bad, main problem is the execution of them.

the man has been like this on immigration his entire career.Hell, strict immigration enforcement is a pretty basic part of the Nordic countries with high social welfare system isn't it?
Bernie believes things like racism are the result of economic dissatisfaction and Trumps voters are disaffected victims whose primary abuser is the Democratic Party. He doesnt think Trump is as big a problem

I specifically remember Bernie having a strict immigration stance back in 2016, which was something I didn't like about him back then.
His policies are bad. I think you mean the issues he tried to address are real.

Being anti-immigration is bad enough, but perpetuating the complete BS that Democrats don't secure the border and Republicans do is fucking inexcusable. So glad he's not the only prominent progressive anymore.He said Biden.. at least in the OP.
Biden didn't do it because Republicans blocked the legislation he was trying to pass that would do it you dumbass.Has there been any legislation passed since then?

It's one thing to be strict on immigration, it's entirely another thing to be dishonest about how it was under Biden to apparently score points with the Trump base.This, although I don't think he's doing it for point scoring. Having such a view on border policy is one thing, but praising Trump for doing the thing that he actively prevented Biden from doing is insanity, especially when it's not actually changed the situation on the border in the first place.

Okay, Ive never been a Bernie fan, but at least I previously thought he was principled. Fuck him now.

No Bernie, ICE's cruel security theater relating to immigration enforcement is not "doing better than Biden".
It is categorically worse no matter what the fucking numbers are because it is deliberately cruel, capricious and oppressive.
Sanders being blind to this is appalling. It's literally like someone praising Nazis for doing better than the Weimar Republic at getting reported street crime down.
I really thought Bernie would be above the whole "the left wants no borders" strawman. Super disappointing
I like Ilhan Omar and that Momdani guy too
The odds Mamdani has higher office beyond New York is small. He's unusually unpopular for a major candidate in NYC and he's winning because Cuomo is so odious.
And he can never be President
